The Heathersmith
Behind the name
Heather:
a plant that grows on a heath (like my namesake flower, Erica ).
Smith:
an artisan who shapes metal (like the ancestors who gave me the surname Hammerschmidt ).
I find heather-flowers very beautiful. Delicate and refined, they are made up of many small pieces, coming together to form a complex and intricate whole.
My favorite jewelry is the same way.
I love jewelry that reminds people of fantasy movies, of fairy tales and Renaissance festivals. The jewelry I love is detailed and sparkling, and evokes thoughts of flowers and vines and new leaves. Let me share it with you.
